azda Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Got a Baldwins email about some stock they had and liked the look of the 1693 Halfcrown, so do a little checking. www.coinarchives.com/w/lotviewer.php?LotID=3625932&AucID=3706&Lot=47&Val=99d4371418e4683fe40a773e1309988c www.baldwin.co.uk/product/1693-william-and-mary-halfcrown-about-ef-toned/?contact_eid=042ac6f0-c1af-46b0-a6d4-a398304bfedd&_bta_tid=05179393705476431787335921333614881508332092846598852493377226602192321388511471087052853462718343530835#tab-description Edited April 27, 2019 by azda Quote

Rob Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 The colours in DNW pictures are always a bit washed out. The halfcrown I posted a month ago is completely different to the image on the DNW site. Compare the listing with my image which is a fairly accurate reflection of how it is in hand. i.e. The toning is much darker than their image https://www.dnw.co.uk/auction-archive/lot-archive/lot.php?department=Coins&lot_id=329731 Quote
Rob Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 It happens all the time. A lot of auction houses turn up the contrast on their images. Quote

Peter Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Auction houses,some dealers and quality of images leave a lot to be desired. In my saved sellers on ebay one dealer i have notated "crap images" Quote
